Shah Rukh has often said that he was his team’s ‘lucky charm’ and that when he attended a match, they have always won. Let’s hope some of that luck rubs off on the Indian cricket team as well.
On the work front Shah Rukh is awaiting the release of his upcoming thriller ‘Fan’ and is also simultaneously shooting for his political drama ‘Raees’. He is also shooting his next untitled film with Alia Bhatt, that is being directed by Gauri Shinde. SRK revealed at a recent media interaction that he is eager to take a break from shoots as he is nursing his broken patella. He had sustained an injury on his knee while shooting for Farah Khan’s ‘Happy New Year’, and hurt it again while shooting a chase sequence for his film ‘Fan’.
